I can tell you exactly why people aren’t going to Starbucks anymore: the quality has declined from lack of training, it’s now overpriced coffee for what it is, and their shops aren’t even good “3rd places” anymore - their furniture isn’t comfortable and the space design implies “give us money, then gtfo”. Starbucks as just turned into an overpriced fast-food coffee company

I used to frequently go to a Starbucks in the town I went to uni in; To the point where the baristas knew me by name. I went a lot because it was that 3rd place I could go and study / get work done, with readily available snacks and beverages. However, they ended up closing that shop, even though it was one of the highest rated shops in either the town/province because: they couldn’t put a drive-through in at that location 🤦

It’s ironic how at that old location, they used to write / draw stuff on the cups for their loyal customers because there was an actual friendship between the employees and the regular customers. Now they write generic stuff on the cups as “corporate mandated fun”

So tthhaattss why they’ve added Google / Facebook tracking… https://lemdro.id/post/35102061

It’s a spinoff of Ubuntu called Debian

I think we need a term to differentiate between DLCs that are proper Expansion Packs (EPs) of the game, from DLCs that are paywalling parts of clearly the rest of the original game. I’m not OK with companies chopping up their game to sell it as DLC, but I’m perfectly OK with EPs

I think it depends on the individual. Me in high school? Cool. Me in 2026? Cringe
